Certainly not.
My idea of glorious war died with the Empire.
Holding off natives armed with slices of fruit, while I shoot back with my repeating rifle from behind an eight foot barricade is how I like to fight.
I suspect we cannot get those Chinese to agree to play by my rules.

If the future of Freedom was in jeopardy, yes I would re-join the US Navy. However war on this scale in 2013 is so unlikely that this will not keep me up at night- So I assumed you were talking about a board game- I would buy war bond tech.

Certainly not.

The Imperial American Army is currently occupying my country, the Southern States. With these Imperial Forces, it has brought Cultural Marxism, sexual immorality, godlessness, and the death-knell of negative liberties. When it leaves my own country, then I will take this question under consideration.

Oh yeah, I forgot this,
There is this really great program on the History Channel, or maybe it was the some sister network to the History Channel (it was on digital cable), but it was a 2 hr show detailing 9-11 and went into a lot of the backstory right up to the events.
I’ve only seen parts of it, but it was really good, and it might provide some of the details you are looking for.
It aired around 9-11 this year and I’m sure gets a fair amount of replay (if you know someone with digital cable), so you might want to keep your eye out for that.

Did police ask for the video?
Did the gendarmes(sp?) get a warrant (or whatever they call it in France) from a judge(?) ??
Don’t the French think that it might be a good idee to keep a guy who made a mistake or two? He may have learned something.

@M36:
Speaking of Korea though, it is true that South Korea is an immensely prosperous nation, while North Korea languishes in poverty. South Korea became “Americanized” and now places that where once rice patties and dusty mountain roads are prosperous metropolises. ( I know this because my sister is serving in Korea with the Army engineers) Without our intervention, South Korea would have been conquered, and would be no better off than North Korea is under the heel of communism. The Korean conflict was one of our more noble military ventures.
Sure, military means money. S. Vietnam had a huge jump in economy when we were there that mostly collapsed after we left. It would happen no matter where we go.
However, the state of Korea today has less to do with them being dirty communists, and more with the disintegration of the USSR and a horrible famine during the 90’s. They simply could not support themselves because their primary trading partner disappeared and was unable to supply what they needed, only to be subjected to a series of disastrous floods and drought. Of course, it’s not helped by their military-oriented economic policy, but we do similar and still sustain ourselves (but we’ve got the goods).
But we took a number of casualties in Korea, was it worth that sacrifice of American lives? As a Marine I believe we are all expendable to accomplish our mission, but the call is yours. How many of us will you sacrifice to accomplish the objective? You should be willing to sacrifice all of us. That kind of resolve no longer exists in America.
Tough to say. As an elite group of fighters, I wouldn’t send Marines in frivolously. When it comes to Korea, we are exactly where we were after WW2 (except no skirmishes and such). So did it do any good? I guess so, primarily economically. Are your lives worth promoting the economy of another country? Are anyone’s? Especially when that country actually competes with our own?
But here’s the thing: we installed an unpopular dictator in S. Korea that resigned. A military coup followed that was just was tyrannical and ruthless. It really goes unnoticed because the economy surged and we “saved” them from communism. But I don’t think we accomplished all that much.
I’m not sure when or where you guys should be deployed. Hopefully never, but that’s a pipe dream.
